to this subject, and says strictly that his Equites form the first class,. 

 HcUconii the second, Da/iaii the third, Nymphales the fourth, Plebcii the 

 fifth. 



The closing lines in Mr. Scudder's paper should therefore be amended' 

 so as to read thus : " In Linne's mind which was a typical Papilio — 

 Rhamni, or Antiopa, or Machaon ? The answer is simply tha^ 

 Linne in his study arrived at the conclusion that the first class of his 

 Papilio should be formed by the Equites. I would remark, however, that 

 Linne never speaks, as far as I know, of any particular species being the 

 type of its class, and this idea that his first species is the type is of very 

 recent date. 



The fact that so few Entomologists have the opportunity of consulting,. 

 Linne's older works, induced me to publish these statements.

Can there be two Antispila miners of the Dog-wood ? Either there • 

 must be, and my specimens are specifically distinct from this species, or 

 Dr. Clemens' description is strangely erroneous in at least one particular, . 

 viz., the color of the fascia and streaks, which he says are golden in 

 cornifoliclla, but which are silvery white in my specimens, all of which — 

 six in number — agree exactly in ornamentation, and all but one of which ; 

 are bred specimens. The species of the genus generally resemble each 

 other very closely, and some recognized species do not difter from each . 

 other more than my specimens do from Dr. Clemens' description. Neither 

 is it improbable that two species mine the leaves of the Dogwood, for the 

 same thing occurs in Europe, where A. Pfeifferella and A. Treitschkiella- 

 both mine the leaves of Cor?ms safiguinea. A. cornifoliclla and my 

 specimens both mine the leaves of Corniis florida. I subjoin Dr.
